The Wrong Kind of Bark: Red Banana

Garry Parsons

Garry Parsons

This is a lovely, funny chapter book about a little boy and his puppy by Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo, for Egmont’s Red Banana series. Finlay is a real dreamer, and he’s always getting things wrong. But when he brings his puppy into class it looks like he might have done the right thing after all. Red bananas are chapter books for newly fluent readers, suitable for NC Level 3 readers. They are carefully designed with education in mind, supporting children’s understanding of how to read longer books. Red bananas introduce similes and wordplay to encourage an understanding of more literary concepts.
